Charitable real estate

Apparently, when reddit.com had some downtime they displayed a link to a Haiti donation page. I wasn't trying to access Reddit while it was down, so I didn't see it myself, but it would appear that they managed to raise quite a bit of money.

Given that some web sites front pages are incredibly valuable real estate this is a really good idea; to display something more useful than "we're down". I wish more sites would adopt this.
